Retail

As retailers, you face more complex challenges in protecting your IP than ever before. The growth of online brand abuse means you need to remain ever vigilant. The demands of today’s consumers make it paramount to protect the integrity of your brand.

Many of our trade mark attorneys have had considerable success protecting retailers’ IP rights and ensuring that competitors do not take unfair advantage of the reputation that our retail clients have worked hard to develop.

They are well known for successfully handling complex and multi-jurisdictional disputes through both opposition and other contentious proceedings, often in tandem with negotiating settlement agreements with the help of our dispute resolution team. They can also advise on domain name registration and have a proven track record in assisting clients against third parties in domain name disputes.
